Question

Elaine is upset with her group members because she wanted to lead the group but is not allowed to. She found that other group members are also finding it difficult to adjust in their roles. Which stage of group development is Elaine’s group going through?

Answer 1

Using Tuckman’s stages of group development, we know that Elaine’s group is going through a stage called storming.

In this stage of group development, aside from having difficulties in adjusting to their roles, Elaine’s group and group members would also experience disagreements regarding priorities, tensions between one another, hostility with each other, and there would also be cliques forming inside the group.
